Lost GPS devices in Santa Barbara

I lost my GPS devices while hiking near Stearns Wharf around 5:30 PM last Friday. Two devices were in a blue zip pouch—one handheld with a cracked screen and a second car-mounted unit. I had walked down State Street toward La Arcada and then looped back toward the harbor, realizing the pouch was gone just outside Stearns Wharf. These tools are essential for field work I do with a local research program, and I’m sick with worry they’ve found their way into the wrong hands.

Lost Pocket Watches near Santa Barbara Mission.

I was walking along State Street, near the Santa Barbara Mission, at about 7:15 PM last Friday when I realized my Pocket Watches were gone. They were two heirloom pieces—one with a blue enamel case and a small dent, the other a gold watch with a fine engraving on the back. I used to wind them every evening at Stearns Wharf before heading home, and the memory of my grandfather's stories keeps me clinging to them. If you found them anywhere around that area, please know they mean everything to me, and I hope they’ll come back home where they belong.

Lost CDs near State Street, Santa Barbara

I lost my CDs on Friday around 8:15 p.m., while I was strolling along State Street near the Santa Barbara Mission. It’s a small, sentimental mix—indie rock and a few old jazz records—that I pull out when I need a mood boost after a long day. I must have left my backpack open when I ducked into a coffee shop for a quick refill. I'm hoping someone who found them drops them somewhere safe; losing them feels like losing a part of my routine.

LOST radios in Santa Barbara, CA

I was packing up after a sunset walk on Saturday around 6:15 p.m., when I realized my radios were missing from my bag. They are two compact handheld devices, one black with a blue trim and a dent near the speaker. I likely dropped them somewhere along State Street, maybe near Stearns Wharf, and I am heart-sick thinking of looking there again at dusk. They have been part of my photography setup for weeks, and losing them feels like losing a small piece of a hobby I love. If you found them, please hold onto them; I would be grateful to get them back through the site.

Found blue Nike swim trunks near East Beach

I found a pair of blue Nike swim trunks this afternoon around 2:15pm near the bike racks by East Beach in Santa Barbara. They're men's size M, navy blue with a white Nike swoosh on the left leg and orange piping along the sides. The fabric is clean and in good condition, just a bit sandy from the beach, with no rips or tears. There's a small inner zipper pocket on the right hip, which helps identify them. If this is yours, I’d love to help get them back—tell me a distinguishing detail like the lining color or any logos you remember.
